Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise Drivers
This section contains connection information about both the 11.x and 12.0 versions of the ODBC drivers for Adaptive Server Enterprise (hereafter called 'ASE'). Both of these drivers allow client applications to connect to ASE servers.
Note that both versions of the driver work with Open Client to make the ODBC connection to ASE. As you probably know, the ASE installation and configuration process automatically defines ASE to Open Client based on the server name specified during installation. The default is the name of the machine on which ASE is being installed. This definition involves creating an entry in the sql.ini file for ASE. The sql.ini entry is in the following format: machine_name,port_number. For example:
Note that this is a different connection string format than the ASA and ASIQ drivers use. They use the format host=machine_name:port_number.
If you are configuring an ODBC DSN on a machine that is remote from ASE, you must install the appropriate version of Open Client on the machine and define ASE to Open Client by creating a sql.ini file entry for it on that machine.
